After living here for 12 years as a westerner, I have come to the conclusion that the people here in the farming countryside only live for themselves, don't think of others, do what they want, are totally not social, or have no idea what that means. No friendliness... nothing. The winter months are terrible, dark and gloomy, boring and quiet. There are no holidays, nothing. Going out, nothing. Far too little lighting. I do understand the youth, what is there for them to find here, what is left for them? Nothing. So that image, oh how nice in the countryside, how beautiful, what friendly people... no. Loneliness, and a whole lot of ageing. But luckily the end is almost in sight for us... I'll be glad when I can leave this place behind me. Yes, everything is bad here: healthcare, public transport, lighting, help. No, Stadskanaal is not gold. Clean, yes the streets are, but life and laughter are not, and what happens in the fields... but the streets are clean, yes. How do you say it... Moj Stadskanaal

About Schoolstraat 161, Musselkanaal
At 134 m² and a 650 m² plot, the price of €189,000 works out at about €1,410 per m². In this rural area, that is a market-rate price for a detached home, especially given the generous plot. The E energy label does mean higher running costs, which may be a factor to consider.
Musselkanaal Noord is a very quiet, rural area with a low population density. Most homes are owner-occupied and single-family. One long-term resident describes it as lonely and lacking social life, especially in winter. Amenities are limited, so a car is useful.
The nearest train station is 21.9 km away, so this home is not convenient for commuting by rail. A car is essential for travel to larger towns or cities.
The closest primary school is CBS de Verbinding, just 432 m away. Other primary schools within 2.5 km include Openbare Basisschool De Badde and St. Antoniusschool. Secondary schools are further, at 6.2 km distance.
The home has an E energy label, which is below average for efficiency. This means higher heating costs can be expected, especially in winter. The home dates from 1920, so insulation may be limited.
The plot is 650 m², which typically includes garden space, but the listing does not explicitly mention a garden. Given the size, there is likely outdoor space around the house.
